Impact analysis - Implementation

Prerequisites

Activity codes

Functional

Bullet point  CCM:  Change control management

Bullet point  ECC:  Product version management

Authorizations

This function is object managed. The creation, modification, and cancellation operations can be activated or deactivated for a given user. Filters by roles can also be associated with this function.

Users

All employees that are permitted to be involved in your Change control management (CCM) process need to have an active Sage X3 user record.

Visibility of and access to change requests is controlled using the standard Sage X3 user profile and access functionality:

  • Access to a change request is controlled through the user’s profile. Their profile is defined on the General section of their user record and controlled through the permissions defined for their profile code in the Function profile function (GESAFT).

    For unrestricted visibility and access to change requests, users assigned to the following CCM roles need to have administrator rights:

  • Access to specific roles in your Change control management process is controlled through parameters. Roles are assigned and approved in the Parameters section of the user record (TC chapter, CCM group).
  • For users that do not have administrator rights, access to selected fields on a change request is controlled through the user’s access codes. These are specified in the Access section of their user record.

  • The user’s functional profile also controls their site access and therefore the individual change requests visible to them.
    You need to ensure your users have site access for Change control management, if you restrict your users’ access to Sage X3 by site. Site authorization is defined using the Functional authorisation (GESAFP) function for the function code GESCCM (Change request).
    With site authorization set up, visibility of and access to individual change requests is determined by the Site field on the change request, as follows:

    • If the Site field contains a value, the users assigned to the CCM roles above need to have a profile code which has approval for the defined site.

    • If the Site field is blank the change request is valid for multiple sites, the users assigned to the CCM roles above have unrestricted visibility and access to the change request. The users assigned to the following CCM roles need to, however, have a profile code that has approval for the transaction site.

      Approvers: Site authorization is needed for each transaction type that an approver user will be assigned.

      Actioners: Site authorization is needed for each transaction site that an actioner user will be assigned.

  • The user’s menu profile needs to provide access to the Change Control functions appropriate to their role in your CCM process.
